I'm on the 11th ARenee99

I talked to my coordinator this morning and she said that she submitted my packet to the insurance company on Friday afternoon, so we are just waiting on a response. I have Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield. I don't see many other people that have this insurance and she said that they have never worked with them either but she figures that they shouldn't be much different that any other BCBS. I am patient for now. We'll see how I feel if I haven't heard anything back by the end of week. Hope everyone has a great week!

MK1986. I have my robe, slippers, gasX, CPAP machine, IPad,hubby and something comfortable to wear home.

I have to be at the hospital Monday for 7:30. Things just got really real for me. So nervous I could throw up!

Caspinlli712, I am scheduled for surgery Monday as well and I am also worried and excited at the same time but worried. I am so glad to see that it is normal because I was beginning to think twice about this. I know I need this more than anything. How are you doing on your pre-op diet?

I am in Louisiana, where are you? Thanks for the prayer I will need it because I am so scared, excited but scared. I will pray for you as well.

2 weeks, high protein/low carb still on it. I have surgery on Monday...

I think you will be fine sticking with the diet until Tuesday, you've already lost 25lbs and that is great!

I have less than a week before surgery and now I am so nervous. On the verge of crying. I hate reading negative stories and it scares me like crazy. I know I need to do this but the what if's are driving me crazy. What should I do? I meet with my surgeon tomorrow for my pre-op appointment. Wish me luck.

Thank you guys so much I do believe in God and I will pray about it. I know this is what I have to do to be healthy.

I'm so nervous I could throw up. I have my pre-op visit tomorrow. I hope I don't chicken out. Tired of reading horror stories!

I am somewhat the same $750 deductible then they pay 100% Good luck I have less than a week and it will be done!

If you're employed. How long are you taking off OR how long did you take off work? I have two weeks of vacation available but I also have the option of using short term disability if needed. Opinions welcome!

Please tell me how you felt before your surgery.

Bryantcj my surgery is March 11th Prettylittleheart thank you so much you sound like I feel. I'm just so worried about complications. I know I'm going through with it and I'm really really excited but I can't picture myself slim I've been overweight for so long. I've been praying day and night and will continue to do so Thanks everyone!

March 11th. It's coming so fast

Do you know how much you have to pay out if pocket?

I thank God for this and I am thankful for the support that I have received on this forum. I wish everyone the best as we share in our success!

There is a lady that calls herself Texas89 on here, she had highmark and her BMI was not 50, she said she won her appeal you should try and contact her. I also have Highmark, my BMI is over 50. I am waiting to hear back from them. How long did it take you to get a response? Good luck
